Vitamins for the Mind

The main theme of this issue—the wonders of the human body—took on joyful significance
for my wife and me recently, when our daughter and son-in-law announced the
news of her pregnancy.

Thoughts about our first grandbaby have once again turned us into students
of human physiology, anatomy, and biology. But unlike our college days, we feel
no dread of a quiz or final exam. One of the most-referenced items at our house
has been the special “baby growth chart” that Answers published a couple
of years ago. (I didn’t realize how special that chart would become!)

We keep asking ourselves, what does our little grandbaby look like now?

This 11 x 17 chart from an earlier Answers magazine illustrates the
amazing complexity and growth stages of a human baby, from day one to nine months.
You can download it free at www.anwersingenesis.org/go/21/babygrowthchart.

I’ve carefully studied every article in the issue you are holding—articles
that deal with the brain, heart, skin, and other organs and body systems.

As usual, these articles have challenged and equipped me. I call them vitamins
for the mind.

But now, as a grandfather-to-be, these articles and the intricate illustrations
have grabbed my emotions, too. There’s nothing like practical application to
create hunger for new information.

Think of your own situation—a relative who recently had heart surgery, a child
suffering through freshman biology, friends’ questions about vegetarianism,
or a need to know why “remembering” gets so much harder as you get older. Ask
God to bring to life the truths in this magazine issue. There’s so much to learn
about God . . . and to share!

As you read, I suggest you pray that the Creator will grant you a deeper appreciation
for the complexity of His design of the human body. Whether the miracle of its
creation, its diverse functions, or its healing ability, the body is amazing.
Understanding its intricacies is far beyond even the most gifted scientist or
doctor. Let’s praise our Creator God!

All for Him,

Dale T. Mason, Publisher

This issue also includes a special report that every Christian should read.
In this report (p. 25), I share the results of an eye-opening study that answers
the question, “Why are young people walking away from the church?” Other evangelical
leaders share their insights on what the church needs to do to stop this mass
exodus, and they share tips on how we can reach those who are already gone.
